Chapter 321: China Speed
In the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, there was not only a continuous "China fever", but also a popular political term "China speed". This is something that all countries want to learn from and emulate.
"China speed" is a peculiar phenomenon unique to China, and it is not something that other countries can learn from and emulate. Many projects in China are launched without demonstration, without exploration, and as if everything was planned in advance.
When helping the Soviet Union design and manufacture the T62 tank and renovating the MiG-21, many Soviet experts pondered and meditated on problems that could not be solved for a while, but in the eyes of the Chinese experts, they were a piece of cake, and as soon as the problems were raised, they were immediately solved, and the top Soviet experts were stunned and impressed by the experts sent by China. They all admired and said: "Chinese experts are amazing!" China's speed is fast! ”
Of course, not all problems can be solved by Chinese experts, and if you want to build the T62 tank like the Chinese "destroyer" tank, the answer to you is that this is a systematic project, and the conditions in the Soviet Union are not yet available. If you want to build the MiG-21 fighter into a Chinese J-10 fighter, Chinese experts will tell you very definitely about this kind of problem, no, this technical problem cannot be solved. These Chinese experts were very modest, they paid close attention to the opinions and whimsy of their Soviet counterparts, and sometimes they would discuss difficult problems with them.
The "Chinese speed" has also been demonstrated again and again in the construction of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region. The most typical of these is the development of the Tyumen oil field. A project as large as the development of the Tyumen oil complex usually requires a large-scale preliminary exploration that lasts several years or even more than ten years, determines the oil reserves, and then demonstrates whether it has exploitative value, how to exploit it, and so on.
This is not the case in China, where they completely break the mold. First of all, the land acquisition of Samotrol, Plavdinsk, Mamontov, Ust-Barek, Sisurgut, Fedorov, Sarem, Megion and other large oil fields with recoverable reserves of more than 100 million tons was quietly completed.
After that, the vanguard of China's Far East Petroleum Company took the lead in driving into the uninhabited Samoterol with recoverable reserves of 2.85 billion tons, which is one of the world's rare super oil fields.
Of course, the vast majority of these personnel involved in the positioning did not know these coordinate points, and they were based on the location of each oil well in the later generations of satellite maps stored by the large computers of the base's air police 2000 early warning aircraft and H-8 strategic bombers. But this does not in any way affect their enthusiasm for work and the quality of their work. When they have finished the determination of these punctuations. This was followed by oil drilling teams that drove to the coordinate points one by one, set up camp around them, set up drilling platforms, and directly carried out oil exploitation.
The 3856 drilling team of the Dongfeng Drilling and Drilling Team of China Far East Petroleum Company, which played the first high-yield oil well in the battle of Dongfeng Oilfield in China, created brilliance in the Tyumen Oilfield in the West Siberian Special Zone again, and successfully drilled the first ultra-high-yield oil well in the Tyumen Oilfield with a depth of 3819 meters in only 90 days and 5 hours, the number QM1268 oil well, after 24 hours of formal production and test injection, a total of 1798 tons of crude oil were injected. Natural gas 108028 cubic meters.
"Oil?!" The speed of China gave the Soviets a look of surprise on their faces, too unimaginable, from land acquisition to the drilling of the first oil well. It didn't even take a year, just 11 months and 10 days. The Chinese are also too godly! It's amazing!
The 10th branch of the China Far East Construction Corporation and the vanguard of the China Far East Oil Company simultaneously marched into the Tyumen oil field. Despite the hardships of the long journey, they immediately threw themselves into the infrastructure of the Tyumen oil fields. Roads connect oil fields, oil pipelines extend to the east, and complete residential communities have been completed. In Tyumen, one of the central cities of Western Siberia, a 38-story comprehensive office building, the China Far East Petroleum Building, has risen at a rate of one floor in three days. It has become a symbol of the city of Tyumen, and at the same time it has become the pride of the people of Tyumen.
The Soviets did not show weakness, oil and gas exploitation made you China take the lead, and our oil refining was immediately followed up and rolled out in an all-round way, and after signing a crude oil supply contract with the Chinese Far East Oil Company, a large modern oil refinery invested by the Soviet Union was also built in Tyumen.
Although the city of Tyumen was founded in 1586, it was not very large, with a few local Ural natives and a small number of Slavs and Chechens, totaling tens of thousands of people. The arrival of the Chinese Far East Oil Company soon turned Tyumen into an "oil capital" centered on the oil and gas extraction industry, forming a new oil industry city based on crude oil and natural gas production, led by petrochemical industry, and at the same time driving the rapid development of fertilizer industry, chemical fiber industry and plastic industry. Subsequently, a number of petroleum machine-building, metalworking, woodworking, chemical, light and food industries, which served the oil industry, were also concentrated in Tyumen. This, in turn, further contributed to the urban development of Tyumen City.
This coke broke the Tyumen municipal axe, which used the income from the use, development and rental of land in the special zone to build many districts, widen streets, build roads, build many bridges, and in only three years Tyumen developed into the largest city east of the Ural River with a population of more than 300,000 people.
With the development of the Tyumen oil fields, transportation in this region has developed like never before, and Tyumen has become a railway hub and an important base for river and rail transport in the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region. With the inauguration of the international airport in Tyumen City, Air China and Soviet Airlines have daily direct flights to major Chinese cities and Moscow.
In addition to China's industrial enterprises and agricultural high-tech enterprises in the primary and secondary industries, there are also commercial enterprises in China's tertiary industry, service enterprises such as restaurants and hotels, logistics enterprises, and financial enterprises such as banks and insurance, all of which are the shortcomings of the Soviet Union. The tertiary industry also came to the West Siberian Development Zone along with China's construction army. According to the regulations of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region, enterprises of capitalist countries are not allowed to enter the Special Administrative Region. However, these service enterprises have a way, and they first engage in joint ventures with enterprises in China's Ryukyu Special Economic Zone, and then enter the West Siberian Development Zone in the name of Sino-Chinese joint ventures. After such a change, there is no problem, there are many Chinese restaurants, dance halls, kara 0k song halls, baths, saunas, and massages in the Special Economic Zone. The service was absolutely in place. As long as you give RMB, how to spend it is up to you. He said that he was really the best first person in the service industry.
China's political axe also turns a blind eye to this, who makes the hearts and minds of the Chinese too good. How? He said that he also wants to live and develop. You have to find a way to survive for this neighbor with a strip of water, don't you?
However, there are internal regulations in the Special Administrative Region (SAR) that cadres at or above the county and regimental level are not allowed to enter and leave baths, saunas, massages, and other places. These cadres should not think that no one knows about bathing, saunas, and massages, because there are Chinese electronic police on duty 24 hours a day at the entrances and exits of these places. Moreover, when these enterprises entered into a joint venture with an enterprise in the China Ryukyu Special Economic Zone, the Chinese side clearly stipulated that it was not allowed to accept large consumption of more than 300 yuan from Chinese, and it was obliged to report the situation of large consumption by Chinese to the Chinese joint venture partner.
In the end, these places of consumption became the places where the high-ranking officials of the party, government, and military of the Soviet Union were most willing to go and consume.
The West Siberian Special Administrative Region is a bridge between the political axes of China and the Soviet Union and the friendship between the two peoples, and is also a good place for the Chinese and Soviet peoples to understand and communicate with each other. Here, the people of China and the Soviet Union work and study together, you have me, I have you. Feel each other's customs, habits, and culture together. The school is taught in both Chinese and Russian. Every institution and enterprise has a Sino-Russian workshop.
Can the Chinese and Soviet peoples be fused with each other? It should be said that there is no problem. The compatibility of Chinese culture is relatively strong, and the Soviet Union is also a multi-ethnic country, and many of the Soviets here are local natives and other ethnic minorities in the Soviet Union, of course, there are also Slavic peoples, but the overall number is not the majority, and it is difficult to make any big waves. Because the regime here belongs to the socialist surname, both China and the Soviet Union have the final say, and both say that the political axe of the Chinese surname does not count. No one serves the designated people, and everyone is equal.
The political axe of the SAR is loyal not to the Chinese political axe or the Soviet political axe, but to the Basic Law of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region. Moreover, the law enforcement agencies are also organized by Chinese and Soviet personnel, and you can't take sides with anyone you want to bully anyone.
Both China and the Soviet Union here are socialist countries, with the same ideology, and there is nothing to fight about. It's not up to anyone to decide which culture to dominate, it's up to the people here to choose freely. Which culture plays the dominant role is ultimately determined by material strength.
The advantages and disadvantages of this cultural contest between China and the Soviet Union can be seen in the capital of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region, which is located at the eastern foot of the Ural Mountains, on the banks of the Iset River, and is located in the capital of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region 1667 kilometers east of Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union. It was the third largest city in the Soviet Union after Moscow and Stalingrad. It was here that the two parts of the Soviet Union, Eurasia, were connected.
Yekaterinburg was the center of the Russian metallurgical industry in the 18th century. In the first half of the 19th century, the metallurgical industry led to the rapid development of Yekaterinburg. In the last quarter of the 19th century, Yekaterinburg became the economic, financial, and cultural center of the Ural region, as well as an important hub for the railways to Perm, Tumen, and Chelyabinsk.
On July 16, 1918, the Red Bolsheviks executed Tsar Nicholas II and his family at the Palace of Ibat Yev. Later, in the 20s and 30s, the Soviet Union [***] built a number of large factories here, and at the same time created a number of research institutes and higher education institutions of the industrial branches. The intensification of the city's industrial potential allowed the city's population to triple unprecedentedly to 430,000 in the last decade before World War II. During the Great Patriotic War of the USSR, Sverdlovsk became the center of the Soviet military-industrial complex. During the war, the Soviet Union evacuated large factories, scientific research and academic institutions to the city of Sverdlovsk, and even the headquarters of the USSR State Academy of Sciences was evacuated here. The city of Sverdlovsk became the "capital of the pillar regions of the state" of the Soviet Union.
After the establishment of the West Siberian Special Administrative Region, the original Soviet personnel here were not withdrawn, and the children of the main leaders of the Soviet party, government and army included Khrushchev's eldest daughter, Rada. More than 300 high-ranking Soviet cadres, including Nikijichina, "went to the sea" and came to Sverdlovsk, the capital of the Special Administrative Region. The Soviet Union's lack of influence in this region is not insignificant.
However, when Sverdlovsk became the capital of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region, the city, which had been ruled by the Russians for more than 300 years, was quietly undergoing great changes, not only in terms of hardware, but also in the mainstream culture.
Fewer than 100,000 Chinese live and work in Sverdlovsk. There are 108 Chinese-funded enterprises and 39 Sino-Soviet joint ventures here. Chinese-funded enterprises are mainly engaged in the telecommunications industry and microelectronics industry, as well as agricultural high-tech enterprises, foreign trade, commercial companies, banks, and insurance industries. The joint venture is mainly a joint venture between China and the former Soviet Union large military industrial enterprises to produce, sell, and pave machines. Shield tunnel boring machine, asphalt mixing plant and cement mixing plant and other large construction machinery. The Soviet Union was responsible for the manufacture of machinery, and the Chinese side was mainly responsible for the electrical and control key technologies of these large construction machinery, figuratively speaking, the Soviet Union was responsible for the limbs, and China was responsible for the brain and nervous system.
After the Chinese came here, the first to collapse was the original Soviet telecommunications system, which was crushed by Chinese telecommunications companies in the competition. Here, there is absolutely no malicious competition among Chinese telecom companies. Do not leave a bite to eat for their Soviet counterparts. Soviet telecommunications were really unpopular in terms of products and services.
China telecom enterprises have won unanimous praise from users for their technical advantages of large switch capacity, wide runway and good call quality.
